  One thing you might consider to stay within budget is to expand your search beyond Toyotas and Nissans, which tend to have higher resale values, to some comparable cars with lower resale values. Still good reliable cars, but less money. Examples are 2001+ Elantras (comparable interior volume to the Maxima, but compact outside and much lower price) and 2006+ Sonatas, and 2006.5+ Optimas.

The 2003 looked great from profile and from the front, but looked odd and perhaps even a bit "cheap" from behind. The 2006 nose design is far too mainstream for this car and the grill is ugly.

  I have not heard any specific's; however, the Nissan Maxima rebates usually range from $1200-$1500. As I am in the market and was at a dealership earlier today, I asked a salesperson about the March 2006 rebates. At the time, he was not privy to the information, but he did state he would not be surprised if the rebate was in the range of $1700-$1750.

  Hi Parshad. I don't know if you have leased your car yet, but if not you might be interested in the fact that Nissan's February lease money factor for the car that you are interested in is much more attractive than the one that you were quoted.

  Unfortunately, mywave, the answer to your question is no. The $1,500 customer cash that Nissan is currently providing on the 2006 Maxima is not compatible with its special lease program. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

  I have a new 2006 Nissan Maxima SE (about 1,000 miles). I have encountered this situation. Sometimes, when I brake the steering wheel pulls to the right or to the left. It is as if a brake was grabbing or there was an alignment problem.. The dealer's service says this happens because of the 18 wheels and tires. He says the irregularities of the roadway causes it to happen. He says ... Read More

  "Would i be better off with a Lexus ir an Acura TL??" That depends upon what you want and, as kyleknicks noted, your budget. I went with a 2004 Acura TL 6-speed after having a great 150k mile experience with a 1995 Maxima SE 5-speed. I could comfortably afford the price difference in 2004, and found the TL 6-speed to be both more refined and better performing / sportier feeling. Being ... Read More

  I'm interested in purchasing a Nissan Maxima SL (in the Bronze color). Wondering what changes Nissan might make for the '06 model. My understanding is that the changes from '04 to '05 were very minor. Anyone know if we should expect same for '06? Also, any idea when '06s would likely start showing up -- late Summer? Fall? Later? Bottom line, is it worth waiting for the 06s for any reason, ... Read More
